It could be the first look he had of her face. How beautiful she had looked and how the smile she wore adorned her face. Or maybe, it wasn't that. It was the way her voice sounded as she cried. How the tears of anguish rolled down her cheeks. How she begged to be rescued. It could be the way she laughed, as well. Her face, her body, how she carried herself around and how her voice calmed even the the stormiest tsunami in his soul. Or it could be her name; Sabeeha Ghabidin Ahar. He didn't know what it was that got him hooked to her. Or how on earth he got enslaved by her thoughts. All he knew was, Sabeeha was an obsession he didn't mean to have...but he'd trade his soul to keep. She would always be his Beautiful Beeha, no matter the thorns on the road and even if she's Twice His Age...Zaid knew he'd love her, always and forever.

It all started with a fight. With him hating her and avowing never to forgive her. For she had costed him the little way he fed both himself and his wretched family. But he knew it wasn't strong enough to call for his vengeance. Then came a second time. And a third. And it wasn't until Jiddah costed him the very man he called his father, costed his sister the life she always had and made his mother grieved as terribly as he had never seen; did it call for His Vengeance. And oh, did he avenge! Or maybe not. Because the tables turned and it felt as though His Vengeance was a way of punishing himself as well. Because why was he feeling affected by her tears? Why did it feel like a torture seeing her in pain? Why did he try to keep her safe? When all he wanted was to take a revenge? And just how did his heart go from overflowing with hatred for her to wanting to see her smile? The mischievousness in her eyes? Wanting to hear the sound of her laugh? Was it truly His Vengeance? Bad as it may be for her, Abdallah believed he had it worse. And oh, he truly avenged.

She's Maryam He's Aaryan She loves him He hates her She tries to help him He tries to get rid of her She longs for his love He longs to see her in tears Will he love her in return? Will he accept her? When?

Broken, Damaged, Tainted.

The mere touch of her feet against the floor stirs storms, her gaze flips tables, and the curl of her lips brings buildings crashing down. Chaos defines her, encapsulating her essence and much more. Her path intersects with a man who possesses the power to douse any flame. Hers, however, proves to be a challenge to extinguish completely. Yet, with his influence, he can transform it into a controlled volcano. If only it were as simple as it sounds. Alas, simplicity eludes them, particularly since Inaya and Aadil are not ones to choose the easy route. Hell will be unleashed, bonds will teeter on the edge, and lives will hang in the balance. Their tale does not belong in fairytales, which is why it defies the conventions of such stories. Nonetheless, it surpasses any fairytale in its own right.
